    The words of Major General Haneda, the commander of the Kwantung Army Air Force, were resounding. At least to the officers of the Kwantung Army, they were filled with the confidence of a general of the Japanese Empire. After Haneda shouted these words, he glanced at Lieutenant General Yokoyama with an unkind look.  Expressing his strong dissatisfaction, "This is the guy who just insulted the aviation force. Now, you should know why the combat aircraft in other areas of the aviation force have not gone into battle, right? It's not that I, Haneda, don't want to, but the commander-in-chief doesn't."  let!"

    However, Major General Haneda seemed to have forgotten that in the past few years, when the Kwantung Army Air Force had taken advantage of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Air Force, whether it was a battle of individual aircraft during patrols, or the size of a squadron or even a group  In the air battles, the Kwantung Army Air Force all came back defeated. However, Haneda himself had never encountered such a situation, so he was full of confidence and high in fighting spirit.

    "Hey!" General Nanjiro changed his livid face, looked at the high-spirited Major General Haneda with great admiration, and said: "Haneda-kun, you and your air force are the eagles of the Kwantung Army.  It¡¯s time for the eagle to fly. I order the entire aviation force to join the defense system of the Liaodong Peninsula. However, it will not be under the command of Lieutenant General Yokota, but directly under the command of the headquarters!¡±

    "The mission of the Air Force is not to shoot down how many combat aircraft of the Independent Division. I ask you, Haneda-kun, not to dispatch easily. Your only mission is to do your best to transport the Chinese people when the Independent Division troops begin to cross the sea.  The heaviest blow of the warship fleet caused the corpses of the soldiers of the Independent Division to float all over the Bohai Sea. Remember, at any cost, even if it means flying a fighter plane directly into the ship transporting the soldiers of the Independent Division, Haneda-kun, you can do it!  ?"

    Alongside Major General Haneda, crazy flames burned.  Almost roaring, he replied: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that all the Imperial Warriors of the Air Force are determined to use their own lives to bury the independent division troops who dare to invade on the Bohai Sea. Life is as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, and we do not seek eternity. Just  Seek the beauty of blooming in an instant!¡±

    "Yo Xi!" General Nanjiro shouted, "Haneda-kun, from you, I see the military soul of the soldiers of the Empire of Japan! - life is as gorgeous as cherry blossoms, not seeking eternity, but only seeking the moment when it blooms.  Beautiful!" He closed his eyes.  He seems to be immersed in this sentence.

    Suddenly, General Nanjiro opened his eyes, two cold lights flashed through, and he shouted: "Gentlemen, Nanji, please! Dismiss the meeting!"

    The venue became empty, and the generals of the Kwantung Army left with the enthusiasm in their hearts.  Only General Nanjiro and Chief of Staff Matsuda were left. They were silent for a long time. Chief of Staff Matsuda looked at General Nanjiro, who looked exhausted and looked completely different from the two people he had just seen at the meeting, and said: "Commander-in-Chief, it's late at night.  Let¡¯s go back and rest!¡±

    General Nanjiro remained silent, stood up and left, his steps heavy.  He knew very well that even if he resorted to the last resort of recruiting civilians, if the independent division troops chose to land on the Liaodong Peninsula, the two lines of defense in Hengshan would not be able to hold on for long.  The main force of the Kwantung Army was firmly restrained on the border of Manchuria by which field corps the Independent Division was.

    By then, the Liaodong Peninsula will not receive reinforcements.  Regarding the entire Manchuria war situation, General Nanjiro was full of worries, "I hope that China devil will not choose to land on the Liaodong Peninsula! If they attack from the Manchurian border, the Kwantung Army still has the power to fight decisively! The Liaodong Peninsula  . . ." He sighed and shook his head.

    Chief of Staff Matsuda, who was following behind, felt tense when he heard the commander's sigh. He understood everything in an instant. The commander was not completely sure about the defense system of the Liaodong Peninsula, so he took a step forward and said: "  Commander, will the status of today¡¯s military meeting be reported to the Far East Campaign Headquarters?¡±

    General Nanjiro said with a heavy tone: "Report truthfully the situation of the Liaodong Peninsula being bombed by the independent division aviation. At the same time, I implore Prince Zai Ren to abandon the Far East if necessary and use all his strength to hold on to Manchuria and the Far East.  How can it be compared to Manchuria!¡±

    Also on the night of June 19th, in Seoul on the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese and Korean Garrison Command building was brightly lit, and the commander of the Korean Garrison, General Tanaka Shinichi, was holding a military meeting.

    Today's bombing throughout the day has dealt a devastating blow to the entire Korean Peninsula aviation airfields. The two joint air forces have been almost wiped out. The number of surviving combat aircraft is less than fifty. Commander of the First Joint Air Force  Major General Katayama and Chief of Staff Colonel Kimura were both in pieces. Major General Kuroyama, the commander of the Second United Air Force, was seriously injured and only had half a breath left. In other words, there were no more planes from the Imperial Japanese Empire over the Korean Peninsula!

    General Tanaka Shinichi, after receiving the report, was like a thunderbolt, and it took him a long time to recover. The Korean peninsula had been fine for many years, and the area occupied by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli wasHey, across the Yellow Sea, why did the aviation force of the Independent Division suddenly launch a large-scale bombing of the Korean Peninsula?

    General Tanaka realized that the problem was serious. There was no doubt that this was a precursor to the Chinese devil who was going to attack the Korean Peninsula. He did not care about the hundreds of aircraft and quickly ordered the staff to notify the division commanders and above in the garrison.  Commander, go to Seoul headquarters for a meeting.

    Now, the meeting is reaching a critical moment. Regarding the independent division troops, which are about to invade the Korean Peninsula, the officers at all levels of the garrison who participated in the meeting have no doubts or objections. Just kidding, the independent division aviation has dispatched more than 1,300 aircraft.  Fighters and bombers bombed indiscriminately for a whole day, not to attack the Korean Peninsula, but just to attack those few airports. Who would believe it?

    Generally speaking, all the senior officers of the North Korean garrison who attended the meeting were unanimous in their opinions. However, serious differences arose regarding the determination of which area was the landing place for the independent division troops.

    Judging from the geographical location of the Korean Peninsula, it is a long peninsula. Any port on the west coast is a possible location for the independent division's sea-crossing troops to land. From the direction facing the independent division, Haeju, Inchon, and Qun  The five ports of San, Hampyeong, and Mokpo are most likely located on the west coast.

    From the perspective of preparations for the landing of the anti-independence division troops, the five ports should be key defense areas, and even any port on the west coast should deploy heavy troops. The problem arises here. In the hands of General Tanaka, although the troops are  It is not sufficient, but it is enough to deploy defenses at five key ports. It can even be used to deploy defenses along the thousands of kilometers of the west coast.

    Of course, if Prince Jae-in hadn¡¯t forcibly transferred about one-third of the troops, the North Korean garrison would have defended the entire west coast of the Korean Peninsula like an iron barrel, which is not a boast!

    As for the east coast of the Korean peninsula, the officers of the North Korean garrison consciously ignored it. No one was stupid enough to judge that the troops of the independent division should not be used at the nearest west coast port, but they would go all the way to the east coast to make a landing.  Fight?

    But the crux of the problem is that more than 90% of the existing troops of the North Korean garrison are scattered throughout the Korean Peninsula. They work in squadrons or even squads in the rolling mountains and dense forests, like looking for needles in a haystack, clearing out  The resisting militants, hundreds of thousands of troops, were scattered in the mountains and dense forests of the Korean Peninsula. If they were to regroup, they would not be able to do it within ten days and a half.

    In the hands of General Tanaka, the troops that can be mobilized immediately are barely enough for one and a half divisions. This also includes the garrison of the Seoul Garrison Command, which totals no more than 70,000 people. It is this part that can be mobilized immediately.  Military strength became the key point of disagreement at the meeting.

    The opinion of one group of officers is to concentrate the troops that can be mobilized quickly in Incheon and Mokpo. The reason is that Incheon is located right in the waist of the Korean Peninsula. If the independent division troops land here, they can cut off the Korean Peninsula in one fell swoop.  It is divided into two parts, with a width of several hundred kilometers, and will be penetrated at once, and the garrison troops in the north and south will not be able to respond to each other.

    As for the reason why Mokpo is also a key defense area, the independent division aviation unit bombed the Gwangju Airport where the Second Joint Air Force is stationed the most violently. It was even much more serious than the damage suffered by Incheon Airport. Isn't this right?  Explain, are the independent division troops clearing obstacles for landing in advance?

    Another group of military officers who participated in the military meeting believed that not only Incheon and Mokpo should focus on defense, but also the entire west coast, including the five major ports of Haeju, Incheon, Gunsan, Hampyeong, and Mokpo.  area.

    The reason is that since the Chinese devil wants to carry out a sea-crossing landing operation, the troops deployed will not be small. At the very least, they should be more than double the existing strength of the garrison. Otherwise, there is a possibility of being counterattacked into the Yellow Sea.  , the question that arises is, can more than 300,000 independent division troops be squeezed into the two ports of Incheon and Mokpo to land?

    Unless the commander of the independent division commanding the sea-crossing operation is a complete fool and idiot and concentrates more than 300,000 troops to land at two ports, I am afraid it will take more than ten days for all the independent division troops to land ashore. Of course,  Without taking the Imperial Army's blockade into account, from the heart of these officers, they hope that the commander of the independent division will do this. The pressure on the North Korean garrison's beachhead blockade force will be greatly reduced!

    However, these officers certainly know that their ideas are too idealistic. Judging from the achievements of the independent division troops in the Far East and Outer Mongolia, it is obvious that those China commanders are not only idiots and fools, but also top-notch ones.  Cunning and treacherous, because of this, these officers believe that the five important ports on the west coast,They are all key defense areas.

    When the hundreds of officers of the Japanese and Korean garrison troops who attended the meeting were shouting and blushing, only the supreme commander, General Tanaka Shinichi, frowned, kept his eyes straight, and said nothing!
